some of the best shots from the last few days...

not getting much done around here at all...

and I have no idea why...

just plain don't feel like doing anything much...

waiting for inspiration to hit me...

and so far, it just isn't happening...

but I have been walking the dog and taking pics of whatever I come across...

I do have a cold, so that may be the reason for the blahs...

it could be the mind summer blahs...

tired of rain, bugs and weeds...

but never do I get tired of this...

this was our sunset last night...

so, I will just keep looking for what treasures God has placed out there...

and keep shooting them...

got an appointment with the surgeon on Friday...

cancelled the one for next Wednesday...

(he was supposed to take the stitches out then)

but, those are already out...

I healed up and the skin grew over them, again...

wanted the guys to pull them on Friday and they wouldn't...

by Monday, it was too late...

so had Craig cut them out and then all the top skin came with them...

but that's all healed up now, too...

so, will have the doctor check on it...

and make sure cuz I can't see it...

and check one of the places where he burnt off a tag mole...

it was burnt really bad and I have had pus working out of it...

so...healing up is boring...

being good is boring...

but I am doing my best...

;0)

have a fun day...

and play!

from the garden...

it sorta looks like fall, doesn't it?

the green bean plants were tired...

but we did get five pickings off of them...

Craig and I headed out yesterday morning to pull the green bean plants and plant another crop of them...

didn't take us long at all...

I have never planted 2 crops of them before and hoping they have time to make before fall happens...

those tired old planters that someone was going to throw away have sure come in handy...

and this container garden is working for me...

so might just find time to spruce those planters up before next year...

that's a baby watermelon!

we found 2 of them yesterday morning...

grown in a container, they have reached the ground...

peppers are coming along...

and there are several on each plant now, with more to follow...

in containers...

the tomatoes are doing good, considering all the cooler nights we have had the past month...

the tomato plants are as tall as Craig...

wasn't too bad of a day...

not hot, but a little sticky out there...

half way cloudy all day, but no rain...

not until after dark...

we got some morning glories growing in the corn behind us...

and one single sun flower...

that's facing north...

(the wrong way)

so there you go, as promised...

a view of the garden...

I know my beds and garden aren't looking so good this year...

too much rain and not able to get into them to get things done...

and just forget about transplanted anything or rearranging..

too darn muddy for that...

heard we are going to have a really warm winter...

would be nice to have some warmer days and not as much snow...

maybe we can get caught up them...

;0)

have a fun day and do something special for yourself...

;0)

have you ever noticed?

that the most peaceful places...

the places where you can just breathe in...

where all other thoughts disappear...

are in the places that God made?

that His work is no comparison to anything we try to come up with...

that our soul is at peace and there is contentment there...

without these places...

to run to...

the chaos grabs hold...

but all we have to do is wander back...

closer to Him...

and all is right again...

did you ever notice, that when we build cities...

or our lives...

that we sometimes leave God out of them?

maybe its time to wander back...

and find our peace...

in HIM...

bearing witness to His greatness...

good morning...

it was beautiful out earlier...

got thunder rolling in now...

storms coming in from the west...

and they look nasty...

I was up so early this morning...

so think I will sneak back to bed before the guys get up...

looks like outside stuff isn't happening today anyway...

too broke to go shopping...

really don't want to start the laundry going this early in the morning...

(which is what I usually do)

just a good morning to grab the dog and head back under the covers...

and cuddle the thunder away...

I hope you have a great day today...

and you are not getting bad storms or the flooding...

;0)

prayers for the marines and their families...

for all of our soldiers, near and far...

prayers for peace...
